Always‑on‑Top Hotkey Questions
Can I change the default hotkey?
Yes! TopWindow allows full hotkey customization. Open Shortcuts Settings from the menu bar and set any key combination you like.
What if my hotkey conflicts with another app?
If a combination is already used by another app, that app keeps the shortcut and TopWindow won't respond to it. Choose a different combination in TopWindow's Shortcuts Settings, or change the other app's shortcut if TopWindow's functionality is more important.
Do hotkeys work in all applications?
Yes! TopWindow's hotkeys are registered system-wide and work regardless of which application is currently active. This ensures consistent behavior across your entire macOS experience.
Can I disable hotkeys completely?
Absolutely. If you prefer using only the menu bar, you can disable all keyboard shortcuts in TopWindow's Shortcuts Settings while keeping full functionality through mouse interaction.
